What is Sciatica?
Sciatica is nerve irritation, creating a sensation of numbness, burning, or tingling, that travels from the butt down the back of the thigh, possibly to the lower leg and foot. With more than 3 million cases in the United States each year, sciatica is a very common ailment. Overcoming sciatica is not an easy feat, but thankfully sciatica responds very well to chiropractic treatment from Acorn Wellness in Walnut Creek. The key to sciatica chiropractic treatment is finding and addressing the underlying cause of the sciatic pain.
Sciatica Symptoms:
- Numbness, burning, or tingling sensations in the buttocks
- Nerve sensations travel down the back of the thigh, possibly to the lower leg or foot
- Lower back pain (lumbar spine) may or not be present
- Muscle weakness causing difficulty walking
- Pain from sitting
From low back pain to leg pain, the sciatica patient can feel mild to extreme pain, and it is important to reach out to a chiropractor for help for pain management. The pain you feel originates in the sciatic nerve, the largest and longest nerve in your body.
Chiropractor for Sciatica
Since Acorn Wellness Center treats many pregnant patients, sciatica is one of the most common conditions we treat. Whether you’re pregnant or not, if you have nerve sensations in your butt that travel down your leg, it’s important to get treatment soon to keep your sciatica pain from getting worse.
Can a Chiropractor Help With Sciatica?
Chiropractic treatment, especially when combined with soft tissue therapy (massage, stretching, and exercising) is incredibly effective at helping to resolve sciatica. Chiropractic adjustments take stress off of irritated nerves throughout the body, so this type of work gets very quick results.
I’ve been treating all members families for over 2 decades, and have seen sciatica occur in both men and women, but since I have a specialty as a prenatal chiropractor, I see it most often during chiropractic treatments during pregnancy. Anyone dealing with sciatica should schedule an appointment as soon as possible since this nerve interference, if left untreated, can get worse over time.
Acorn Wellness Center, Walnut Creek, CA, specializes in non-invasive, drug-free chiropractic treatment for sciatica by addressing the underlying cause of the nerve pain. I want to teach you the best exercises to address tense muscles and keep them from coming back, so you can get on with your life.
Meet Our Chiropractor
Acorn Wellness Center in Walnut Creek, CA is run by Chiropractor Elon Bartlett. Dr Bartlett is one of Walnut Creek’s top-rated chiropractors, and has been specializing in prenatal and postpartum chiropractic care since 2001, making him one of the Bay Area’s most experienced chiropractors as well.
Dr. Bartlett has always had a passion for optimal body mechanics and bodywork which can be seen in his background as a massage therapist and advanced student of Tai Chi Chuan. Another passion of his, empowering birth, began as a child upon seeing images of his own, peaceful home birth. Once he made the progression from massage therapist to chiropractor, he combined his passions by specializing in prenatal and postpartum chiropractic care.
From his Walnut Creek, CA office, Dr. Bartlett practices Diversified chiropractic, incorporating Activator, Drop, NeuroMuscular Re-education (NMR), and CranioSacral Therapy (CST) into his treatments. His treatment style is gentle and precise, meaning he only uses as much force as is required to achieve the desired result. What sets him apart as a chiropractor is that he begins every treatment with NMR, a therapeutic form of massage, to soften muscle tension first and then uses manual palpation to assess what treatment is needed, only relying on X-Ray when required.

I found Dr. Bartlett’s practice to be the most thorough, personalized, and attentive I’ve experienced in chiropractic care. I appreciate his experience with pre- and post-natal patients as well as children. His combination of muscle and spinal therapy is critically important.
Dr Bartlett is so amazing, I saw him for pregnancy and postpartum and his knowledge of the body is really astounding. He uses effective massage and targeted adjustments that really did wonders for my pregnancy related issues, such as sciatica and tendonitis.
